We are excited to share our International Women’s Day 2025 schedule, celebrating this year’s theme: #AccelerateAction. Despite progress, gender disparity remains—especially in the legal profession, where women hold just 32% of equity partner roles.
Our events will explore practical solutions, expert insights, and bold actions to drive real change.
